In a chat with The Nation, the actor said he does not believe that COVID-19 exists in Nigeria nor does he care about its existence.
“Nigeria, we are not supposed to be involved in this COVID-19, I see no reason why we should be involved. Only Nigerians in diaspora will have to partake in this devilish program.
We at home are oblivious, we are not supposed to be involved in any ceremony in trying to pretend or in trying to avoid. My brother, COVID-19 or 20 is not here, I don’t care.
Why would China give us sickness and America embellish the technicality and then sell it to the world and people now begin to die when they know it’s killing. Thank God we have hot weather, the thing sef dey fear us.”
Speaking further, the actor said “I no dey fear anything I dey wear cloth waka on my own. Nothing dey here, nobody don die for this whole area, if you go another area nobody don die, go to stadium nobody don die. Let’s be sorry for ourselves.
“I’m telling everybody not just the government this, say only what you know do not exaggerate it. Na we dey take our mouth call sickness by im own, sickness dey pass on its own but na we dey call am for Nigeria. You won’t see COVID-19 because it’s not here.”
On the rising numbers of cases of COVID-19 in Nigeria and activities of the NCDC, Mr Ibu said, “You know anybody?
Have you ever attended any burial and they say na this thing kill am? have you ever gone to the hospital them say this person na Covid dey hold am? have you ever seen a family them say somebody na Covid na em kill am yesterday for family wey you know? You cannot, dem say dem say na em me and you dey hear. Even the sickness dey fear us.
“Are they not human beings, let them bring a picture of at least one person killed by COVID-19 and we find the family of such a person.
COVID whatever is not in Nigeria, we have hot weather here, the disease is scared of us just as we are scared of it so it can’t come here.
It has affected so many industries in the country, it has driven us away from work because of the lies and gossip. Na small thing e remain hunger for don kill me since if no be say better people dey wey dey give us money.”

He should be very careful because he's high risk.
ReplyDeleteI don't like people who don't love their lives.
😂😂😂 This man is unserious via our screens and in reality too
DeleteMR. IBU is just ignorant. In as much as the numbers may be false, Aunty Coro is very Real
DeleteMake I laugh joke. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
DeleteMtchweee 😎 😎 😎 😎 what do you expect from him
DeleteCelebrities that are supposed to help in creating awareness.... Smh
DeleteIgnorance is a disease!
DeleteI never think he could be this stupid in reasoning like he mostly act in movies. He should keep moving about carelessly his cup of agbo.
DeleteI hear statements like this and I am shocked
ReplyDeleteLow IQ and reasoning in real life, as in his acting roles!
ReplyDeleteWith a stomach that size, there is very little room for logical reasoning. His fat has replaced some of his brain apparently.
DeleteYou are wi***. Mr Ibu this your tummy needs to see a doctor asap!
DeleteMr. Ibu you are high risk. Just keep quiet and protect yourself.
DeleteAnd those who have lost loved ones as a result of covid should laugh at this or what?
DeleteHe said nothing but the truth. Nigeria Coronavirus is a scam!!
ReplyDeleteFan biko Try and surprise us, even if it's a one time thing, surprise us inugo!
DeleteIt is but not as gosh as the government is saying.who has seen anyone in isolation centre?
DeleteThe truth will still come out.
With the stigmatisation, you still anyone in isolation centre would like his/her face to be on TV just to prove to you that covid19 is real?
DeleteCan people stop being ignorant in this country for once. The number of cases is far more than what the government is rolling out every day. The figures are for test carried out some two to three weeks ago and all those people would have mixed up with others.
DeleteWe don't have a high mortality rate because we don't have too many old people in this country and the little we have are in very rural areas where Covid hasn't gotten to because of the lockdown and people don't travel to villages that often.
Please protect yourself and your loved ones. Covid is very real and the Nigeria government doesn't send it's citizen.
Why do you think they refuse to let those doctors travel to the uk?
fan i lost my father in law
DeleteFan please do not downplay this virus .
DeleteMy uncle died , two friends of mine survived and my aunt and daughter.
I hope we know a person's ignorant comment could spur danger for their followers.
A doctor died in Warri today. You guys have no clue, his wife is at the isolation centre fighting for her life. Why not visit the isolation centre closest to you to confirm if there are patients or not?
DeleteCoronavirus in my opinion is under reported sef
DeleteNot to downplay what you think is coronavirus but i think alot of Nigerians are dying from diabetes, high BP because of inactivity and pneumonia from the cold of the rainy season
DeleteAnon 23:17. Nigerians just woke up this year and remembered they hadhigh blood pressure,cold, started having pneumonia,and decided to die just like that? I don't believe the level of ignorance Nigerians display and spread while trying to form intelligence.
DeleteIs this man sick? He doesn't look healthy in the picture at all. Wether you believe or not enikan lo mo.
ReplyDeleteLet me just walk away so I don't type something distasteful.
ReplyDelete🚶🏽♀️🚶🏽♀️🚶🏽♀️🚶🏽♀️
My dear,I couldn't just help it, we are still trying to figure out what to do to this his huge tummy, next he opened his big mouth and started yarning dust.
DeleteWhat a shame.
High level of ignorance..... It's so disgusting!!!
DeleteSomeone told me this exact thing in the market today when I asked why he wanted cash instead of transfer.....
@Ify its sad he is high risk!! He needs to take precautions covid 19 isn't a joke that we are fortunate to be alive and well doesn't mean the virus doesn't exist !!!
DeleteIts sad ehh!! When I speak with my siblings I feel their disdain from a distance!! A widow told my mom that there is no covid in nigeria that my late uncle was injected by the doctors!!!
You can just imagine !!! My nephews over here haven't gone to school since March they only went to school last week to submit their ipads .
@Cookie I literally wanna puke from this nauseating comment !! Chale people have died, even my hommie'S uncle was fortunate to be alive .
I detest ignorance , it irks me , it puts me in a terrible state .
Mr Ibu you better lean back .
Same here I feel terribly sad when I hear people reel out conspiracy theories to the effect that Covid is not real.
DeleteI also have a survivor from this virus, till today this person is still not having some health issues as a result of the virus.
It is really so hard a time to err on the side of caution????
Please let's stay safe .
I am tired of writing rest in peace!
@ Choc, he sounds stupid, pathetic ignoramus.
DeleteOh my God!can this man breath at all? See how protruding his stomach is.
ReplyDeleteThe truth of the matter is there's Corona Virus and some people died as a result. But the annoying thing is NCDC announcing numbers of new cases daily that is not true.
May God help us.
You would have just kept quiet. I thought the way you acted in movies was just an act...
ReplyDeleteOrishirishi sha, he talks like his stomach
ReplyDeleteCareless talk!!
ReplyDeleteEverything is joke to him and his likes
ReplyDeleteIt's like the fat belly is touching his brain as well.
ReplyDeleteWell I can't take this KIND of a person serious under any guise.
You are sick yourself. You have been going upandan insulting him personally? What happened to the topic at hand? Bitter ppl everywhere
DeleteMr IBU is an Idiot, who like most Nigerians lack common sense.
ReplyDeleteStay safe people COVID 19 is real
Why call him an idiot? Can't you disagree without insults.na wa
DeleteNezz don't mind the Anon, once they don't have proof to counter ah argument they resort to insult.
DeleteLets be truthful to ourselves the things he said has the questions not crossed some of your minds?
I hate it when people are so gullible. Apart from what the media says how many of you have gone to research even if it's only on Google about this covid. The media too lies they have been doing it. Don't swallow all they say hook line and sinker like a moron. Do your own research so that if someone says what you consider ignorant you can defend what you believe with facts and not with insults.
Simpletons will still come under my comment and say rubbish. I advise you to take that time and do at least a little research.
Anon 17:119, calling whoever disagrees with your myopic analysis simpleton just shows that you are as ignorant as Mr. Ibu. Nigeria's covid 19 case is underreported. People are treating covid quietly in their homes. People have come out to share their experience: case in sight is the Pharmacy chain owner who together with 11 members of his family got infected. Ajimobi is dead, Kyari is dead, my former boss is dead. Nigeria has approx 200M people so it is possible that 1000 people will die of an ailment and you wont know any of them. BE cautious and dont use your strong head and stubborn mind to put your family at risk
DeleteYou are too dull dear. I don't know who is duller btw you and Mr Ibu, your mentor. It is better to pick beans this night than dignify you with a response @ 17.19.
DeleteLol Stella why did you use this photo?
ReplyDeleteI was listening to a discussion last week on why its not taken so seriously in Naija...one of the men on TV said it hasn't been televised enough, people aren't seeing the dead bodies to further drive the reality of the situation home unlike the western countries.
Mr Ibu you have a lot of fans that will spread whatever you say and thus defeat the efforts of the Government...so please be cautious sir.
Really?????????
ReplyDeleteHe must be kidding. Let me just pretend that he’s cracking a joke that shouldn’t be taken seriously.
ReplyDeleteOMG why does he look so bloated???
ReplyDeleteHe looks sooo damn unhealthy. He had better watch his weight, and also keep his beliefs to himself.
ReplyDeleteHow many comments only you? How healthy are you? Food don land for una.
DeleteThis man need to watch his belle oh and visit the hospital.
ReplyDeleteWhat an irresponsible statement.any way to each, his iwn.stelkz GOD bless you.
ReplyDeleteCelebrities should stop misleading people, I pray coro doesn't visit anyone near him, many people will see this and say "Mr ibu sef talk say e no dey"please these people should be careful with what they put out to the public
ReplyDeleteThat's an irresponsible statement from John Okafor a.k.a Mr Ibu. Yes the whole figures churned out by the NCDC might be exaggerated but it doesn't mean that there's no Corona Virus in Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteCan the government start arresting people like this? Ibu should be invited for questioning how dear he mislead people
ReplyDeleteSeconded.
DeleteHe's misleading his fans/followers.
Smh
ReplyDeleteKai Nigerians eh people all over the world including in America are screaming this is a sham and gullible Africans still can't use their head to think. If you can't think at least go and read history online you will see a few people have always played the world for their own gain. Why do you think American threw caution to the air and stated massive protests, you think they are fools and are loving that they will allow the death of one man expose them to danger? The answer is no, they read in between the lines and saw the lie. Even with the protests death rate from the virus started reducing and this is a virus they said can spread if you don't wear mask and distance yourself from people abi you think the protesters were Observing social distance?
ReplyDeleteFact is WHO has been lying about a lot of things, first they say it can stay in surfaces then they say oh it can't survive in surfaces again, they say stay indoors then they say no going outside boosts immunity. They are not just confused they are also lying to you. Their credibility has been questioned by a lot of people including Trump and you think it's you that is wiser than all these people as ignorant as you guys are about why is really happening. Stay there allow them to keep lying to you it seems that's why Africans like, they can't think for themselves.
The same leaders you saw with your two eyes how they rigged elections last year and you were calling for their heads, the same leaders you have been seeing looting the national funds and you scream against are the ones you are believing with your life, so Covid came and they turned a new leaf hahaha by the time this is over they would have fattened themselves to the third generation.
If you like type nonsense under my comment the joke is on you. If you have facts an figures to make a solid claim that this hoax going on is not what it appears to be I'll really like to read it.
no dear there is a huge increase in infection after the protest in Florida and Houston ...
DeleteAnother misinformed olodo spotted, confidently spewing thrash on the blog. A few of the states that participated in the protest have had a surge and have besmen forced to lockdown a second time.
DeleteI tot his idiocy ended in the movies, never knew it extended to his brains and Belle. Very senseless statement, it would have been better if he'd kept quiet. I've added him to my list of ignorant ppl.
ReplyDeleteIf covid no dey, wetin come dey kill people?
ReplyDeletePlease help me and ask them ooooooh!
DeleteInstead of being cautious, some are busy with conspiracy theories!
Nobody is typing nonsense, you are the one that spewed arrant nonsense. You are not even current. If not you would know that Florida is suffering from a second surge in Covid cases. And it's because of ignorant folks like you forming woke.
DeleteFor your information, you leaders have also made a lot of money from other schemes including "Roll back malaria" schemes. Does that mean malaria is also a scam?
Chisos! Is that a recent pic?. No trolling here. That guy needs to go see a doctor asap. Instead of spreading false facts about the existence of covid.
ReplyDeletehahahaha this man dey craze i swear.
ReplyDeleteMr Ibu is high on problem bigger than his tummy. Mtcheeew
ReplyDeleteHmmm... unserious movie role,still unserious in reality.
ReplyDeleteCorona virus is real sir,stop misleading people base on your person.
Recklessness
